This announcement has been out for many months...

Yah. It's interesting, but hard to say it's worth the premium over the Pentax or Fuji (probably the same sensor) for the Hasselblad name and the the use of leaf shutters.

I own both the 645Z and the GFX 50. My 645 is about 2 years old now and the GFX was purchased at the beginning of the year. I run a photography club here in the bay area and one of our members is getting this Hassy so I should be able to pull off a little shoot out soon. In the states the cost of all three are very similar depending on the len set you choose, so not much of a premium.

Gotta say the GFX is a pretty big let down, may dump it before the end of the year. The Pentax is such a better camera in almost every aspect I can think of...

UK landscaper James Bell rates it highly - he's got a Youtube channel with hands-on videos of it & various shoots:

I think to day, more than ever, the influence of the photographer both behind the camera and in post processing dwarfs any difference in these systems, be it crop, FF, or DMF.
